[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 905891, member: 2299"] Two reasons. Most pundits give very shallow analysis. It almost always boils down to the following. We finished 5-15 in conference last year and lost our two best players so we're going to be bad again. It's not how college basketball actually works, but they aren't going to do real analysis on the amount of teams. They just want something how to generate clicks and conversation. That is especially true for teams that aren't at the highest level. Call someone a favorite to win it all and they miss the tournament makes you look stupid. Call someone to finish last and they win the conference and you just have a great story to talk about and nobody will care that you projected them to finish last. So basically, the pundits projections are shallow and meaningless. But more importantly, because projections in general don't mean anything once the games are played. If we win the NCAAT it won't matter where we were projected to finish. If we finish last in the conference, it also won't matter where we were projected to finish. The year will be judged on how it is actually played, not how it is projected to play. [/QUOTE]
